Stable Door

Crime, Psychos

I see that the psycho who fatally stabbed that Ukrainian refugee girl on a train in Charlotte NC has been caught and charged with murder.

That’s all well and good;  but I don’t think we should stop there.  Apparently, Our Stabby-Boy has a long and storied history of psychotic behavior, well known to the Awfforiteez in Charlotte.

I wanna go all Hammurabi on the assholes who let this bastard loose to roam the city.  Let them be charged with murder too — or at minimum as accessories to murder — because they are as culpable as he is.

And I don’t care if he is “mentally incompetent” or any of the excuses dreamed up by doctors and lawyers for cases like this.  Fucking hang him, shoot him or give him the Cyanide Ride.  Now.

Because as sure as I’m sitting here, you have to know that at some point the details of his hideous crime will be forgotten and he’ll be released onto the streets, again.

In which case I will definitely be calling for the immediate execution of all the people who enabled this to happen.

News Roundup

Bad News

Like Cracker Barrel and Jaguar, the old label is still better than the stupid new one.  But that’s not important;  this is:


...these findings are supported by IPCC models, so it’s actually safe to assume that the Gulf Stream is in excellent condition.


...I’m going back to using aerosol deodorants, to do my bit to combat Global Warming Climate Cooling Change.

How about some ICE NEWS:


...but but but CalGov Newsom says there’s no crime in California.  Could he be lying?

Speaking of crime:


...South Africa?  Nope:  California.


...as MN’s strict gun laws aren’t working, the federal ones will work so much better, you see.

Speaking of lying little bitches:

Poor Little Immigrant Girl Makes Good 
...and all it took was to be elected to Congress.  In Minnesota.

On the same topic:


...yeah;  not gonna happen, not even in Minnesoduh. 

More stupidity, Celebrity Division:


...stick to selling yoga pants for fatasses, dimwit.  And:


...clearly, this one hasn’t been reading the newspapers recently.  So out of the frying pan and on to the gas ring she goes.

And in the Great Cultural Exchange Experiment:


...yeah, that’s going about as well as you’d expect.

On the Domestic Resistance Front:


...yeah, the response from all those White Gold Coast liberals (like Fatboi) must have the Guard really worried.


...thing is, most Americans actually support what ICE is doing, unlike the fucking Commies.

Still more from the Crime & Punishment Division:


...female prison guards will be renamed “prisoner comfort staff” any day now.

In Education News:


...tragedy or irony?  I report, you decide.

Next comes link-free 

 

...don’t even ask for a link. No man should.

And in :


...and I still couldn’t sing one of her songs at gunpoint.

And on that sour note, we end the news.

Another Pointless Panic

Health

Some doctor bloke has come out with a chilling warning about two everyday analgesics, taken by… well everyone except him, it seems:

Dr Dean Eggitt, GP and CEO at Doncaster Local Medical Committee, warns patients against taking paracetamol, which is also known as acetaminophen in some countries, and ibuprofen anything more than occasionally, saying that they can cause serious harm. 

He said: ‘All these simple over the counter medications can actually prove fatal in the wrong doses—and some, like paracetamol, within a week. 

‘It’s a huge problem and people just don’t recognise the risk.’

I should point out that the article also says this:

Paracetamol and Ibuprofen—used by millions daily to treat everything from headache to fevers—[are] safe when taken correctly.

No kidding.  As my good friend Doc Russia always says:  “Dosage is important.”

The whole point of analgesics is that they offer temporary relief from pain — e.g. a headache — so popping a couple for that purpose poses no problem to pretty much anyone.

But if you’re suffering from a permanent raging headache, the solution is not to pop ten pills a day ad infinitum; in that situation, you need to get checked by a doctor toot sweet because you may have a brain tumor or similar.

Excuse me for asking, but what fool doesn’t know this?

Of course, if you’re suffering from permanent crippling pain — from sciatica or some other ailment that isn’t curable by surgery or therapy — then you have a different kind of problem, and I feel terribly sorry for you.  (My own gout — since mercifully abated — made me quite sympathetic to this situation, believe me.)

But let’s face it:  overdosing on anything is going to have a bad effect on your health, whether aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen or even water.

The old saying “Everything in moderation” is as valid today as it ever was.  There’s no need for “chilling warnings” unless people are being completely stupid about the situation.

Wait…

Missing The Point

Corporate Fuckery, Economics

I’m all for POTUS putting the arm on foreign manufacturers to open their factories here in Murka, because we need more industry Over Here.  So more jobs for Murkins, even in industries where our market doesn’t especially care for the actual product.  Clearly, however, something got lost in translation with the recent Hyundai cock-up in Georgia:

Federal authorities say 475 people were detained this week in what Homeland Security Investigations called the largest single-site enforcement operation in its history.

The raid took place Thursday at the HLGA battery plant site in southeast Georgia, a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution, as part of a months-long probe into alleged unlawful employment practices and other federal crimes.

…and this is even worse:

According to South Korea’s Foreign Minister Cho Hyun, more than 300 of the detained workers were South Korean nationals.

So in case the SouKs (and others) haven’t got the plot yet:  opening a manufacturing plant in the U.S.A. does not mean you can staff the place with a whole bunch of your own citizens not allowed to work Over Here.  You tossers.

Anyway, the illegal Koreans are immediately going to be “reshored” back in their own country instead of staying in some manky ICE detainment camp awaiting deportation.

We want the foreign factories, not the workers.  We’ve got the “worker” part covered, thank you.

And the Victory Girls have nailed it.

No Big Deal, Then

Illegal immigrants, Lies and Untruths, Plagues and Poxes

Speaking of those manky ICE detainment centers, it seems that some illegal aliens have been dying of Covid.  Of course, that’s just terrible, according to the Usual Suspects, but some smart guy at Blueberry Town has taken a look at the actual numbers, applied some appropriate statistical methods and inferences, and sucked the air right out of the narrative:

The upshot is that ICE has been testing the heck out of the detainees in its facilities. As of September 11, there are only 20,138 detainees in ICE facilities (down from an average of >50,000 in 2019), and ICE has administered more than 35,000 Covid-19 tests. Recognizing that people cycle through these facilities at varying rates, it is safe to assume that ICE has tested a solid majority of its detainees during the last six months, and possibly the vast majority.

The agency has found 5,810 cases of Covid-19, for a “positivity rate” from testing at an ugly 16.6%. That is the sort of rate that gets journalists screaming at governors, fun banned, and schools firmly virtual.

Sounds horrible, right?  Nazzo fast, Guido:

But only 6 detainees have died of the Covid. That is a case-fatality ratio of… 0.1%. Compare that number to the observed case fatality rates in various countries, which are massively higher. The Covid-19 case fatality rate in ICE detention centers is right in line with the seasonal flu. That made us curious.

There might be several explanations for this. ICE facilities might have excellent health care. Well, maybe, but that would be a narrative-buster of the first order. Indeed, a recent whistleblower has contended that at least one ICE facility has under-reported Covid-19 cases, which would suggest an even lower case-fatality rate than indicated by the dashboard.

Through the same link, there seems to be data that says that the median age of people deported from ICE facilities is 30. By comparison, the median age in the United States is about 38. The population in ICE facilities, therefore, is almost certainly significantly younger than the United States in general.

Furthermore, eyeballing that chart above, the ICE facilities seem to have very few people over the age of 70, which represents the preponderance of Covid-19 fatalities in the general US population.

There’s all sorts of other geeky goodness in the article, and I would earnestly recommend that you read all of it.  But the executive summary?

There’s not a whole lot to panic about — not on this topic anyway.

Sorry, Commies.  Find another issue to care about.

Funny Stuff

Actually, that’s going to be more like my long-suffering Lady Readers (all three of them) when they see the tone of today’s Funny Stuff.  But first, a classical reminder:

So here we go:
